So soon!

Still, I spose most of them should prolly be about the same as BF2, surely :p

You need tweaks for that monster PC of yours?:bow:

Hehe - gkm is the one with the monster PC :D

Found one interesting thing that I've been asking about for a while - if you want to set the max frame rate to something above 100, then normally you'd need to bring up the console and type "game.lockfps 200" in each time you start up BF2 ...

One can just put it into general.con as explained here:



General.con

GeneralSettings.addServerHistory

This settings show you the last servers you have successfully connected to, and is the same list as that shown in your History tab under the Multiplay>Online in-game area. This list is handy because it provides the server names as well as the IP Number and Port Number. You can also remove any of these entries if you don't want to see them again in the History tab. See the Multiplay section of the In-Game Settings section for more details.

Note that there are a range of other interesting commands here such as GeneralSettings.setColorBlindFriendly and GeneralSettings.setLCDDisplayModes, however these don't appear to have any impact on the game, at least in the demo version.


Interestingly, you can add console commands to General.con, and they will be implemented at startup for BF2142. So for example if you want the FPS counter to appear whenever you launch BF2142 and join a game, add the renderer.drawFps 1 command at the bottom of General.con. The list of console commands is on the next page.

Interestingly, in the demo server console, I discovered the command game.crash :p

I didn't test it tho. ;)

Is this another moment of e-sarcasm, or is he being serious?!

[TG]

Nope, perfectly serious.
